New Alfa Spider diesel - 141 mph, 200bhp, and 52.3 mpg
Filed under: Diesel, MPG, Green Daily
What happens when you stick Alfa Romeo's 2.4 JTDM 20V diesel engine into the Alfa Spider? How about 200bhp, a top speed of 141 mph and the ability to go 52.3 miles on a gallon of diesel (Imperial). Combined cycle is 41.5, and in the city, the Spider gets 30.7. How 'bout them apples?
Thanks to a diesel particulate filter, this Spider complies with Euro IV emissions standards and the upcoming Euro V. For this kind of clean performance, Alfa Romeo will ask you for £28,995. If you're keen on the car but a little short of cash, check out another picture (and the press release) after the break.
